Survival Skills
In an “Upside Down” Real Estate Market

Real estate lawyers, in today's down market, are being thrust into unchartered territory. Their clients, more than wanting to "make" the deal, are looking for ways to "fix" the existing deal. Old remedies are not necessarily working. Bankruptcy is not always the only or, indeed, the best option.

What to do? Our panel of experts - a real estate lawyer, a certified financial planner and a real estate broker - will guide you through a myriad of innovative solutions to ease the financial burdens on your clients and appease the lenders. You will learn about new federal and state legislation, "short sale" alternatives, workouts and "tried and true" tactics for negotiating around threatened foreclosure. You will also hear essential tips for avoiding the special ethical traps in this unique area of practice.

Whether you are a seasoned practitioner in the field or a novice, this is a don't-miss program for all lawyers handling real estate transactions.
